I find formatting is usually a nonissue with BibTeX files as entries tend to already be automatically generated from some authoritative source (e.g., CrossRef).
What I do end up using a lot however is nschloe's betterbib [1].

This is great! Especially nice to be able to remove entire fields.
Relatedly, here are a couple of tools to ensure that references are complete (e.g. updating arXiv papers to their published versions, mostly for computer science papers):
- https://github.com/yuchenlin/rebiber (CLI, web interface)
- https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~ga384/bibfix.html (only *ACL papers, web interface with diff, disclaimer: mine)
